Hello everyone, I am Victoria Li, the Honorary President of the Singapore Kwangtung Hui Kuan. I grew up making Cantonese tong shui, so these desserts are an everyday affair for me. I think making tong shui is a way for me to connect with my roots even though I am not a big fan of sweet desserts. The preparation techniques, the knowledge of adding the ingredients at different stages as well as the soup’s temperature control form part of my culinary heritage and I value these intangible aspects of dessert-making the most. I look forward to demonstrating some of these desserts during MCF2021! See you there!
The Singapore Kwangtung Hui Kuan was established in 1937. The clan association was started by eminent immigrants from Guangdong province, including Cantonese, Teochew, Hakka and Hainanese businessmen. The organisation aims to strengthen social ties, encourage unity, promote Chinese culture and contribute to charitable work. The clan association is governed by a management board which oversees the daily administration and varied activities of the associations. Singapore Kwangtung Hui Kuan is a federation comprising 66 clan association members, 10 trade organization members and a few hundred individual members.
